Saturday: Durand Jones and the Indications > The Wombats > Japanese Breakfast > Brandi Carlile > Blood Orange/Trampled By Turtles (can't decide yet) > Disturbed (love the novelty of them playing this) > St. Vincent > Metallica
Sunday: Thunderpussy > Ghost of Paul Revere > Arizona > Elle King > Moses Sumney > Rezz > Shawn Mendes (haters gonna hate) > Slyvan Esso/Illenium > Arctic Monkeys
Some of these conflicts are pretty rough though. I'm incredibly glad I saw Byrne and The National at Shaky Knees and Justice at Lolla last year. Byrne and Justice were mind-blowingly good, so do yourself a favor and see those if you haven't. I will say I'm bummed to be missing The Revolution, Vince Staples, Brockhampton, Jungle, Alvvays, Chvrches and Sir Sly.

Some pretty brutal conflicts for me:
Friday: Noname vs Sir Sly vs Mikky Ekko vs Alvvays David Byrne vs Golden Dawn Arkestra Jungle vs Manchester Orchestra vs Greta Van Fleet BROCKHAMPTON vs Father John Misty
Saturday: The Breeders vs Japanese Breakfast Deftones vs CHVRCHES St. Vincent vs Nelly Metallica vs Justice
Sunday: Parquet Courts vs Injury Reserve Janelle Monae vs Khruangbin REZZ vs Houndmouth The Revolution vs Travis Scott
A less significant conflict that I’m sort of bummed about: Bahamas vs Parquet Courts. I’ve seen Bahamas before though, and I’ve been wanting to see Parquet Courts for a while, so that makes it easier I guess.
Most disappointing conflict (weekend 1) is easily Metallica vs Justice for obvious reasons. It might turn into a game time thing in all honesty. I’m probably gonna stay at Miller Lite for Blood Orange -> St. Vincent and see what happens from there.
Also I’m livid that weekend 2 got Vince, but it happens. Last time Vince played, I was on the winning side of the addition game whereas the opposite weekend got Future. Oh well. Kind of related, I think it’s super bizarre that there’s an hour and 45 min gap before Gambino. I’m guessing it’s so people can catch significant parts of both headliners? But it just seems odd.
damnnnnnn, I'd like to see Bahamas, and I've already seen PC twice this year, but I was pretty stoked to see it again. Might just end up seeing most of Baha and then going to catch the 'One Man No City' jam they generally close with.

So now the question to ponder for the whole next month, do I skip Manchester Orchestra, Khalid and Brockhampton in order to get as close as possible for Macca.
Her: "Well, I guess I just like psych rock a lot."
Me: "Let's just not do this."
It's weird how they're such a polarizing band. They seem like good kids and fairly honest guys who come from a family and hometown background that gave rise to their style and sound. It's a somewhat softcore version of late 60's/early 70's Zeppelin at this point.
I wouldn't say that Jungle was lame either. But just like Greta Van Fleet seems to be overrated on the internet as a whole, I think Inforoo overrates Jungle. I'm from a funk city, and while I agree that they're a decent funk band, it's a softcore 70's radio funk throwback style to me. There's much heavier and funkier shit I'm going to be getting down to if I want the funk. There's better psychedelic rock that I'm going to be getting down to over GVF if I want to listen to that. But being as it's a festival and those are my choices, I think I'll go with Greta Van Fleet.
Does the friend or group you're going with not split up for sets that you want to go to? All our crowd - be it 5 or 25 or more - go to the shit we want to go to rather than grouping it. Even bfs/gfs will split shit up and nobody seems to give a fuck about that. We'll meet up later if there's a big plan to catch a show en masse or something.
It's gonna suck missing St Vincent for Nelly and having to catch her at literally any other festival.
didnt you already not see her at dfn, I bet she's done for a minute after ACL. i guess she could still play Roo next year.
It's a completely different show. This one is the 2013 NIN style stage with the lights behind and the band up front whereas the D4N show was her performing over tracks. This is the full band. The set we watched at Lolla in the last couple weeks was pretty great. I've never seen Nelly and would love to, but it's not going to happen at this unless I pass by the back for a few minutes.
